Sometimes while going through the archives I find an image that I wonder how it would look in black and white. This moment is from a wonderful little wedding I shot with Elizabeth Solaka in the summer. I enjoyed the color version, but I loved the monochrome conversion. It really isolated them from everything around them. Without the colorful flowers, the bright red bricks and the purple curtains there’s only one thing left to look at. I can’t imagine anything that could be as timeless as the emotions here. Photographs capture a lot more than beauty.

Someone asked me what I meant by my urine filter phase. Everyone talks about how the market for photography has become saturated with amateurs. I am no different, in an attempt to par off with my cohorts there was a time when I adopted extreme color shifts, awkward tilts, cut of limbs trying to stand out. I like to think I’ve come a long way from those days. Flavor of the moments happens to be more realistic renditions. Though, that in now way means that I am against unique crops and tilt-shift lenses. I know plenty of people that abhor the idea of destroying photography with such sillyness. I intend to go with everything in moderation. I will at times shoot into light sources for the exact purpose of introducing flare; then I will go into Photoshop and bring out that flare with 7 adjustment layers, ADD noise and oversharpen. Yeah! That just happened.
